Episode 227: Revenge of the Wannabes (The Clique #3)

On Episode 227, guest Iman Hariri-Kia makes a strong case for Lisi Harrison’s Clique series as social commentary and tween empowerment narrative. She and Alli focus on Book #3 — Revenge of the Wannabes — but also talk about the world of Massie Block and Octavia Country Day more broadly, touching on matters of insecurity, tenderness, and empathy. They also have frank conversations about portrayals of sexualization, objectification, and disordered eating in the book. Iman Hariri-Kia is an award-winning journalist and the author of A Hundred Other Girls. Follow her on Instagram (@imanharirikia).TW: disordered eating, body insecurity Hosted on Acast.
